Epidemiological Profile of Tuberculosis in South Dakota, 2013
By Kristin Rounds, Tuberculosis Control Coordinator, South Dakota Department of Health
During the last 10 years, South Dakota averaged 15 cases of tuberculosis (TB) per year. During 2013, there
were nine cases of TB reported to the South Dakota Department of Health, which is the lowest number of
cases ever reported in the state. Figure 1 shows the 10-year trend of TB cases reported in South Dakota.
Figure 2 illustrates the 100-year history of tuberculosis cases in South Dakota. Since the 1950’s there has
been a dramatic decrease of cases due to the developmental of anti-tuberculosis medications. Case reductions
are also a result of mandatory reporting of suspected TB cases to the Department of Health, case management,
new treatment regimens and comprehensive contact investigations to ensure those exposed receive prompt
intervention efforts.
